Product concept
To offer a Trail tyre with real off-road capabilities, in line with adventure
riders’ requirements. To make it possible for riders to discover new areas
with their motorcycle without having to worry about the tyre capabilities.
Technical aims
• Upgrade the Off-road traction
• Increase Off-road grip
• Focus on durability and irregular wear
• Don’t sacrifice the on-road capabilities
Methodology
• Pattern design and block positioning for outstanding performance
• Block design ensuring block rigidity
• Optimize overall dimensions of the tyre
• Adopting high strength compound
CONCEPT and METHODOLOGY
Front Pattern & block positioning
1) Block wall angle optimization :
- Upgrading the block rigidity with feedback for the rider.
2) A-IW Technology : Anti – Irregular Wear Technology :
- The A-IW technology consists in reducing the heel and toe wear at the trailing
edge of the block thanks to block deformation under braking forces constraints.
- This new block profile is countering the deformation and ensuring the durability of
the tyre.
Rear Pattern & block positioning
3) Redesign the tyre dimensions to increase the total amount of blocks on the tyre.
4) Apply a high cross section area and a small pitch length :
- Increase the cross section area with 30% compared the A41.
- Shorter pitch length in order to increase with the higher diameter of the tyre
the amount of blocks over the circumference.
5) Increase both compound rigidity and strength compared to the Trail – on road
Battlax Adventure A41 to ensure the balance between durability and off-road
performance.
Benefits
• Excellent “Off-road” capabilities
• Increased traction Grip in muddy conditions
• Well-balanced performances including durability
• Limited Irregular wear in “On-road” usage.
